Anorexic

Skin and bones, some say she's too thin Kind of looks like a frail stick Each day she runs, fast paced Lost look in her eyes Eats less and less Torn and sad One word Numb Written on 10/7/2015 Infinitian Form

well, this one caught my attention for personal reasons as i live with this condition...that aside, you've made very good use of single syllable words to create a coherent and hard hitting piece...a slight niggle, i don't like to see 'kind of' in a poem, and if it hadn't been for that this would have placed higher - congrats on your win in my contest!
